This photo sequence comes from Pennsylvania, a long way from my Colorado home, but it is intriguing. The first photo is startling. Has the "creature" morphed into a bear between #1 and #3? Or was there a switch? And what is the square thing sticking up in the #3, blocking the tip of the bear cub's nose? Was it just two bears (or adult and two cubs) all along?
Could it be a mangy bear, like Terrier Man's weird mangy woodchuck?
More fun with motion-activated cameras!
UPDATE: Maybe it was indeed a mangy bear.
